Magnolia is the new Lavender!
Magnolia has been used for centuries Chinese traditional health practices, and is known for its emotional benefits along with a fresh and compellingly sweet aroma. I know I am personally OBSESSED with this oil, and as I start to dig into why, it’s no wonder that so many animals love it too!
Also called white champaca or white jade, magnolia flowers have been used in traditional health practices to help create a sense of balance within the body. It’s official genus and species is "Michelia alba" (not to be confused with the Magnolia trees here in Texas!)
Similar to Lavender and Bergamot, Magnolia is primarily composed of Linalool, which can be very calming. If your animal loves this oil, it may be a great one to add into the rotation especially during stressful situations. This is a great alternative for animals (and people) that do not care for the aroma of Lavender.
Magnolia has many of the same properties we love about Lavender such as: respiratory system support, is deeply relaxing, encourages restful sleep, relieves anxiety, and soothes skin.
Magnolia Touch is perfectly diluted and safe to use with all species, although you may wish to dilute it a bit more for topical use with cats and smaller species.
How to use Magnolia Touch (Roller) with Animals:
🐴 For horses (and other large animals), apply along the spine, coronet bands, or directly to the area of concern.
🐶 For dogs, apply to your hands and pet along the spine or directly over the area of concern or between the paw pads of the back feet. No dilution necessary. Great to use during a bedtime massage or before a stressful event like thunderstorms or fireworks!
🐱 For cats, roll a small amount on to your fingers and apply to the ear tips or along the spine. Dilute to 50% if using more than a small amount. Alternatively, you can apply to your cat's favorite blanket or hiding place for aromatic use.
